English II
You had a major quiz today so you don't have any official homework for tonight. You should focus on your projects so that you are ready for the workshop we'll have in the library on Monday. Try to do some work to select the project you want to do for your final test grade. We'll have time to work as a class on Monday and Wednesday next week to put these projects together.
AP English III
Your homework this weekend is to read an annotate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham City Jail" - it's available in 50 Essays as well as at this link. As you read, pay attention to the ideas of Transcendentalism that we have been talking about in class. In addition, pay attention to King's ideas of morality versus immorality and the concept of justice versus injustice. Where do King's morals come from in this text? This piece is rich in rhetoric and meaning and we'll have a lot to discuss with it.
Looking to the horizon, you'll have your first timed writing on Friday - it will be an argumentative piece. Study your notes as you are preparing. Your final drafts will be collected on the 13th of October - for these make sure that you have all of the supporting documents that have come together to make your final draft (outlines, rough drafts) so that I can see the whole development process. Lastly, get your copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - make sure that it is complete and unabridged.
